Travel Health and Dental Insurance
Traveling outside of Canada or outside the province of B.C. you need to purchase travel medical insurance. Why you say, when you have BC medical? Out of Canada emergency medical expenses are not generally covered by your provincial medical plan and these expenses can be financially overwhelming - into the thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore, before you travel check with your insurance advisor for the most appropriate type of travel insurance.
You may purchase travel medical, trip interruption insurance in the event you or a traveling companion cannot complete your trip, or trip cancellation insurance to reimburse you for your trip costs in the event you need to cancel your trip before it starts.
While travelling outside your own province of residence in Canada, some medical and paramedical expenses may only be partially covered by your provincial health insurance program. Whether you travel frequently or occasionally, there is a plan that’s right for you. Depending on your needs, you can opt for coverage on a daily or annual basis.
With appropriate travel coverage your unexpected medical emergency costs will be taken care of, so you can travel worry free.
